New Gods made their debut with New Gods #1 in March 1971. New Gods were created by Jack Kirby.
For those of you who don't know about Jack Kirby, he co-created almost half of all mainstream comics like Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, Avengers and many more.

The New Gods are a product of Kirby going to work for DC Comics in 70's. While working with DC he introduced the 4th World concept. Fourth World is essentially a Universe with eternal conflict between Good and Evil that was solely told by Jack Kirby. Fourth World is outside the conventional Multiverse with New Genesis and Apokolips being on completely opposite ends of one another in the Multiverse. Within the 4th World Universe exists the New Gods, who are a group of Ancient deities that use their powers in a never ending fight between Good and Evil. The reason that the New Gods have an eternal Struggle between good and evil is because 4th World has 2 twin Planets - "New Genesis" and "Apokolips". But it wasn't always that way. New Genesis and Apokolips were once a single Planet named "Urgrund", home of the old Gods. But it was destroyed with Ragnarok and split into 2 different Planets, one being "New Genesis" and the other being "Apokolips". New Genesis being their Heaven so to speak and Apokolips is their Hell. That's not literal, that's just the best way to describe it as New Genesis is full of Peaceful Compassionate New Gods while Apokolips is quite the opposite.

But not only the Ragnarok lead to the creation of New Genesis and Apokolips. When the Old Gods fell, it lets the creation of the New Gods filling the void. Some of the New Gods lived on New Genesis and some lived on Apokolips. The New Gods of New Genesis are ruled by "High Father" while the New Gods of Apokolips are ruled by "Darkseid".

The New Gods live outside of Space and Time in Fourth World. Living so close to The Source(The Energy or God who created all life in DC Comics) the New Gods have Evolved. They have Superior Technology and have quite literally Genetic and Evolutionary perfection. But this isn't completely true with the New Gods of Apokolips, many of it's inhabitants are inferior with only a few being superior to Humans.

So, while they are Gods in the sense that they are immortal and have great power, not all of them can create life or destroy life with the snap of a finger, but there are a couple who can. But to break down their overall powers more specifically- they are immortal, invulnerable, have super strength, stamina and reflexes. But some new Gods like High Father and Darkseid possess powers way beyond that. One example of each would be High Father being able to manipulate incredible amounts of energy which allows him to transverse through Space and Time, bring creatures back to life and do all sorts of other crazy things with his alpha effect. As for Darkseid, he has the Omega Beams which is one of his deadliest weapons, it is capable of annihilating almost anything in it's path. He can also also send or get something in Time, Dimensions or even Universes. 

Fun Fact: New Gods are very similar to Marvel's Eternals, that's because Jack Kirby created both the New Gods and The Eternals. However, the New Gods came first.

Also both The Eternals and The New Gods are getting a movie in the upcoming years(Both officially announced).

Some of the Most prominent New Gods of New Genesis are High Father, Orion, Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Metron and Lightray.

On Apokolips we have Darkseid, Kalibak, Desaad, Steppenwolf and Granny Goodness.

We all know Marvel Comics is full of powerful characters capable of destroying planets or even rewriting reality. But what about weapons. Here is our list of ten most powerful weapons of Marvel history. 10) Tactigon Tactigon Kicking off the list is Tactigon . Tactigon is a weapon that 1 st appeared in Avengers the Initiative #1 in June 2007. In short Tectagon is an extra-terrestrial object/weapon that bonds to the arm of its host. The host can then form any weapon that he/she imagines. So, it’s very similar to The Green Lantern ring from the DC Universe. It can even scan its opponent and match its power to counteract the attack perfectly. It’s so powerful that it’s been classified as an omega level weapon (and here we thought that term is only used for Mutants). 9) The Crimson Gem of Cyttorak The Crimson Gem og Cyttorak It made it’s debut in X-Men #12 in July 1965. The crimson Gem of Cyttorak is a jewel of great power created by the mysti

DC Universe consists of a lot of powerful cosmic and mystical characters, but what about weapons. lets find out. 10) WarWorld Warworld Warworld is a mobile planetoid, usually controlled by the alien tyrant “ Mongu l ”. It is pretty much what it sounds like, a space station designed for war. It was developed by a long deceased race of aliens who engineered it with a dangerous psychic steering mechanism which ended up killing all of them, eventually it fell into the hands of Mongul who realized the space station’s potential. It has guns powerful enough to destroy entire planets and is one of the most dangerous single object/weapon platforms in the DC Universe. 9)  Mother And Father Boxes Mother Box Mother Boxes are sentient, autonomous computers typically found on “ New Genesis ” and are mainly used by the “ New Gods ”.

The Marvel Universe is full of incredibly powerful characters. A few of them however have powers beyond imagination. Here is our list of the most powerful characters in the entire Marvel comic book universe. 10) Galactus Galactus Sole survivor of the Universe existing before the Big Bang. Galactus is one perhaps the most feared being in the cosmos. He is known by many names such as  The    Devourer of Worlds ,  The Lifebringer ,  The Seeder of Worlds , etc.   Galactus feeds upon entire planets and has unlimited cosmic power and knowledge. He is perceived by different species as one of their own species of whoever is looking at him. For example, a human would see him in human form. 9) Magus Magus His son  Adam Warlock  also goes by this name, but here we are talking about the original Magus. He is basically an Immortal  Shape-Shifter , but it doesn't mean that he is just some random shape-shifting Guy, h e can become virtually any sub
